XHR.timeout is not implemented

[kumar303]

In this example,

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.timeout = 1;
xhr.open(...);
xhr.send(...);

the timeout property does not seem to be implemented by Sinon's fake XHR. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/XMLHttpRequest#Properties

I was expecting it to trigger the timeout event. It would be nice if this were implemented or at least documented as such.

I'm using Sinon from node @1.9.0

This is not implemented - yet. I assume this is from the xhr2 spec? Do you know the browser support situation, and if it can be feature detected?

[kumar303]

Oh, I didn't know it was a new feature. It seems to be everywhere except for Safari: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/XMLHttpRequest#Browser_Compatibility

[kumar303]

I think you could detect it just by:

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
if (typeof xhr.timeout !== 'undefined') {
...
}

Safari 7.0.6 supports xhr.timeout.

No updates on this?
